Food'N'Flix Invitation: The Lunchbox


Food‘nFlixYou're invited! It's my turn to host Food'N'Flix where we watch movies and head into the kitchen and cook or bake or make something based on a recipe they actually make in it or just something we were driven to make after watching it.

This month, I've selected The Lunchbox*. Truth be told: I haven't actually seen it yet, but I've read about it. And I've wanted to watch it since it appeared on my foodie-flick radar. I am always a sucker for anything Indian. So, I hope you'll join me, watch the movie, and be inspired to whip up something fabulous.

The film, set in Mumbai, revolves around a Dabbawala (lunchbox delivery service) snafu that results in a relationship between Saajan, a lonely widower, and Ila, an unsatisfied housewife when they begin exchanging notes through the daily lunchbox exchange.

Here's the official movie trailer to whet your appetite. 

 

I hope you'll join the fun. Watch the movie, then post about it on your blog with a link back to this post and to Food'N'Flix. Use of the logo is optional. Your post must be current (during month of film). And of course we don't mind if your post is linked to other events...the more the merrier. Have fun with it!

Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
